Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Just in the last day I've seen some happenings on DS that, quite frankly, have sickened me. I post this with all due respect to ALL DS members. In my opinion, it is NEVER appropriate to publicly attack, bash, humiliate, or demean another DS member. Period. It is not fair to do so, and at the least is mere meanness. Posting in public that this, or that member "should be" banned is character assasination, and is a mean and unjust act. I simply cannot stand by silently without comment on this sad state of affairs. I think love, compassion, and healing should be our guiding force, not hateful behavior and emotions.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I never react without hearing the full story if I can help it.
We're all having a difficult time and some people react differantly than others.
You always speak with wise word nadareal
hugs to youxxxx
I don't understand why if a member has negative thoughts towards another member they don't just ignore that person. Surely one of the reasons that people have join DS is to escape cruelty and judgements from the wider world, it is unforgiveable that cruelty should follow them here.
Well said Nad.x
Im so confussed. who is upset?
I thought this site was to help ppl. not make them feel worse about themselfs?
I must admit I have at times wanted to lash out when one of my friends has been hurt my cruel remarks, One time in particular but it just adds fuel to the fire. I tend to fcus on making sure the person under attack is ok and dealing with it.
